The Southwest Michigan Planning Commission would like to invite anyone with an interest in trails, bike lanes, and non-motorized facilities to attend a public input meeting in Berrien County.  They want to hear what plans our community has and what your vision of a connected region looks like.  Give your input at either of these public meetings.  This event is free and open to the public.

 

Berrien County Trails Input Meeting

February 4, 2010 - 6:30-8:30 pm

Andrews University - Chan Shun Hall - Whirlpool Room

4185 East Campus Circle Dr, Berrien Springs, Michigan  49104

 

At this meeting attendees will accomplish the following:

1.    Create a vision of connected trails in Southwest Michigan.

2.    Discuss the prioritization of projects.

3.    Tests the usability of the existing Southwest Michigan bike map.

The public input meetings will contribute to the progress of the 9-County Non-Motorized Transportation Plan for Southwest Michigan.  The 9-County plan will be utilized by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), local officials, and advocacy groups to prioritize non-motorized investments in the region and will provide a vision for a non-motorized transportation network that will be used to secure private and governmental funding for implementation.  Plan development is being funded by MDOT.  The Southwest Michigan Planning Commission (SWMPC) is facilitating and writing the 9-County plan with assistance from the Southwest Alliance for Recreation Trails (SMART).  The SWMPC is working with several partners in each county to develop the plan.  For more information about this project, please visit www.swmpc.org/smart_plan.asp.

 

Let’s work together to create a connected non-motorized trail system!
